Write a reflection of your observations and interview, focusing on literacy development, assessment strategies, and the use of data to guide instruction.

Allocate at least 4 hours in the field to support this field experience.

Literacy development among emergent readers is a critical component of the early childhood classroom. Data collection is key to the success of a literacy program. Using data to drive instructional practices demonstrates purposeful and targeted teaching methods.

During this field experience, observe a Pre-K to 3rd grade classroom. Focus on what literacy interventions look like in the classroom. In preparation for Clinical Field Experience B, informally assess the literacy skills or needs of students. Work with the mentor teacher to identify three small groups of students with 2-3 students per group. There should be no overlapping among these groups.

After the observation, interview the mentor teacher about literacy development, assessment strategies, and the use of data to guide instruction. In addition, discuss the process for selecting the groups, and the rationale behind the activities, including any data involved in the decision-making process.

Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.

Write a reflection of your observations and interview, focusing on literacy development, assessment strategies, and the use of data to guide instruction.

In your interview, include questions covering the following:

  • How do you plan lessons/activities based on the current literacy development of your students?
  • How do you modify assessments to understand the comprehension level of students at different literacy levels?
  • How do you know if a student does not understand the material and how do you change your immediate instruction to help with the learning?
  • How do you use assessment data to create learning groups or to modify lessons to meet the needs of all learners?

How does learning about the visual arts of various cultures across time and outside your own cultural sphere impact your current perspective on cultural diversity?

There are a lot of exchanges that take place when one culture influences another culture. Talking about this matter, I think the most important thing that takes place is cultural appreciation. I believe before taking something from a culture and imitate it you should learn the history behind it, and learn the proper way of appreciating it because believe it or not every little things and events within a culture is essential and has a history. So that’s why we should always learn the meaning and history of things from other cultures before we imitate them, especially because cultural appreciation can turn into cultural misappreciation fast. Some examples of cultural appreciation can be found on:

How does learning about the visual arts of various cultures across time and outside your own cultural sphere impact your current perspective on cultural diversity?

This doesn’t change my perspective on cultural diversity because I have always enjoyed learning about different cultures, so this is nothing new to me. I think culture is such a big part of our lives, and understanding culture comes with the ability to see things differently, the ability to see what others with different backgrounds value, and that teaches you to appreciate them too and not disrespect them. Culture reminds us of how much we have in common as human beings, and at the same time, it also reminds us of all our cultural differences. I always enjoy learning about another person’s background because knowing about someone’s culture provides for a better way to connect with them.

4 days agoRe: Week 7 | Discussion – Cultural ExchangesArtist depict their subjects and themes of art similarity across time and culture because art is inspired by the world around us. Artists across the globe are influenced by different cultures and time periods in history. I think collectively art is improved and elevated when cultures and time frames are infused into the artwork. With most things that we as humans learn and observe in the world, having the inclusion of different cultures and time periods allow us to be more aware and take into account different lifestyles and perspectives. I find that there is so much beauty in being able to pull inspiration from different cultures and time periods and transfuse them into different aspects of life. I feel more connected with other cultures when I can see their influence actively in art, music, design, and technology.

Discuss modifications to code or the design you might need to make for your prototype.

E-commerce Web sites impact many different areas of an organization—from sales, through accounting and manufacturing, to shipping. The requirements phase is extremely important for the e-commerce Web site. The requirements phase allows you to gather a list of requirements from the external and internal users. This document will be very helpful to the development and testing team.

For this project, you will be adding the Requirements section to your E-Commerce Implementation Plan document and begin work on your prototype e-commerce Web site. First, review the sample requirements document available in your unit resources.

Complete the following tasks:

  • Update the E-Commerce Implementation Plan document title page with a new date and project name.
  • Include following details in the Requirements section:
    • Functional Requirements (these should align with your sample site for your prototype)
    • Non-functional Requirements (for example, security, performance, quality issues)
    • Estimated cost and timeframe
    • Stakeholders – Identify key stakeholders who should have input on the requirements
  • Include the following details in the Prototype Design section:
    • Site Map
      • Use Visio or another drawing tool to create a map of the sample code site,
      • Discuss modifications to pages you will need to make to create your prototype site
    • Code Overview
      • Language(s) used in the sample code
      • Summary of sample site code design (use UML diagrams such as class diagrams where appropriate)
      • Discuss modifications to code or the design you might need to make for your prototype
